X11 does not have a way to override all grabs for just a couple of keystrokes. If a grab is present, it's always active. (Unless the application grabs the keyboard, but that is not what you're looking for.) So the only way to do that is to put all key bindings in some file or function, e.g. bind_keys and to unbind them in another one unbind_keys then "read unbind_keys" when necessary and restore them with "read bind_keys" later. You'll probably be unhappy with the performance of this approach if you have mora than just a few bindings. (Don't forget to put a binding that reactivates the other bindings into unbind_keys.) > Some kind of > "escape" key entered before the actual key. > > For example, I have > > Key F1 A N Switch-Iconic > Key F2 ... > : > > in my .fvwmrc. > > Assuming the window "xyz" has input focus: If I press and release > some [magic_escape_key], followed by [F1], then "xyz" should *not* > be changed to an icon, but [F1] should be sent to "xyz" instead.
